Baby is 8 mths old
3/3.5/4.15 schedule 2 naps total 2.5 hrs max
7.30 bed up at 6.30-7
3x solids and breastfed
Goes to sleep nicely by himself the last week in less than 10 mins without crying. Put down awake.
Wakes around 12 & 4am. Can’t seem to resettle without a feed he gets upset but clearly tired.
Anyone else?
8 month old is falling asleep independently after a cuddle then into got awake and falls asleep no tears. Amazing!
Still waking 3 times a night usually at 10, 1-2 and then 4-5ish feeding every time. Tips to reduce or eliminate these?
Currently on 3/3.5/4 but wondering if last wake window isn’t long enough as waking at 10pm
Up for day roughly 6.30-6.45
Then 3/3.5/4 roughly. Two naps with total day sleep 2hr15-30.
Bed time between 7.15-30
Currently feeding in light before bed time. Then going in and sleep sack, white noise. Quick cuddle and twinkle twinkle then into cot awake.
I’m then tapping his bum and singing twinkle twinkle and doing my best to not tap bum if he’s settled and just sing.
I feel like we are SO close to independent sleep.
Currently waking 2-4 times a night I’d say the average is 3. We are feeding every wake but I’m going to start doing my best to resettle anything before 12 and then continue to push it back, but he does get very upset if he doesn’t get a feed through the night I find the resettles a bit difficult but not during the day.
Currently on 3x solids a day and breast fed. Making sure he gets iron and protein throughout the day.
Any advice and words of encouragement welcome. I feel like we are so so close and I’m desperate to stop waking up so much every night.
We’ve pretty much been like this since day one and it’s safe to say I’m so over it. Today he didn’t take his arvo nap and it just sent me into a rage (not at him but just overall). I am so beyond tired. I want my energy back and I want to show up a better mum.
He’s currently on 3/3.5/4 roughly. He usually always wakes at 10.30, then sometimes 12, 3 and 5.30 and up for day at 6.30. Bed between 7.15-7,30. I used to be a le settle some wakes without feeds but lately he loses if I try anything else.
Just looking for some advice and hope that sleep training may be successful and what method people used. I don’t feel like I’m showing up a good mum or partner anymroe and i dont want this for us.
